Title

Emmett Till Anti Lynching Act: A Decade Wrong Made Right

Abstract

Nearly 200 times throughout history, anti-lynching legislation has been attempted but never succeeded. The first effort at this type of legislation was made in 1900 by Rep. George Henry White, who was the only Black member of Congress at the time. He stood on the floor of the House and read the text of his ground-breaking bill, which would have prosecuted lynchings at the federal level. Later, in committee, the bill was killed. Years later, Southern Democrats, many of whom opposed it in the name of "states' rights," filibustered a bill against lynching that Rep. Leonidas C. Dyer proposed and which passed the House but was rejected in the Senate. In all but a few states, the United States documented lynchings of more than 4,000 people between 1882 and 1968, the majority of them were African Americans. After a decade lynching is recognised as a hate crime, this is an important step forward in the history of the United States to continue the work of confronting the country's past in search of a brighter and more just future, even though it won't completely heal the terror inflicted on countless others or erase the horrific injustices to which tens of thousands of African Americans have been subjected over the generations.
